Power
Requirements
The LBV system is designed to operate from common power sources. When
establishing the correct power source for the LBV, be sure to consider what other
equipment might be used at the same time to avoid erratic power supply to the LBV.
The standard LBV fitted with
SBT150 Brushed Thrusters
requires 650 watts 100-
130/200-250 VAC, 50/60Hz. The power supply with the Integrated Control Console can
be configured internally to accept either 100-130 VAC or 200-250 VAC.
CAUTION:
Do not plug an Integrated Control Console or Surface Power
Supply that is configured to 100-130 VAC into 200-250 VAC or vice versa.
This will damage the LBV system and may cause physical harm.
LBV systems fitted with the
HPDC1502 Brushless DC Thrusters
have a requirement
for 1200 watts at 100-130/200-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
1.3
Setting up System
Select a suitable area from which the LBV will be deployed and controlled. The area
should be dry and not in direct sunlight. Now the LBV is ready to be set up.
The first step is to connect the tether to the LBV.
Prior to connecting ensure that the power to the Integrated Control Console or the
Surface Power Supply is
OFF
.
